Yotogi no Kuni no Gekkouhime

The market, which opens on the main street of the Kingdom of Helifarte, has shown a buzz in recent months, arguably the best since the founding of the country. Quality magic materials available in the White Forest are only available here as of now. Merchants from all over the country push ahead to get that delicacy.

And it is where people come together that is the most active place for street performers and bards. People gather from the nations so that they may be drawn to their cheerful ones, and Helifarte is in a festive state day after day.

Those who came to Helifarte from other countries were all appalled to hear that only one girl was responsible for revitalizing this country so much.

The beautiful girl, with her white magnetic skin, silky white hair and crimson eyes, was often witnessed riding out in a carriage. Rumor has it she is focused on academics and if she has time, she is on her way to visit Helifarte National University.

Having seen its beauty, the bard begins and ends with those who say, 'Princess Serene Moonlight is a messenger sent by heaven to keep company with elves and humans' and so on. The mysterious origins go hand in hand, and Serene is thought to be like the god of the living.

The real Serene is just a stuffy object packed with plain annoyance, but its side looks thoughtful if you keep it quiet, so the nature (s) are extra bad.

Serene was indifferent except for his three great desires, and only traveled back and forth between the castle and the university, so he didn't pay any attention to what the people thought. I don't even consider fine dust that my job of just sitting has blessed the whole country, etc.

Every time my carriage passed, the road became noisy, but the unfathomable Serene just glanced outside, and something shut up, I only felt in position.

However, that unattractive attitude, on the contrary, gave the impression of virtuosity and increased the mystery of Serene, but sadly Serene only thinks about her boobs.

Aside from the contents of Serene, Helifarte today had become an ideal place, so much so that it was called 'Blessed Nation' by other countries.

However, a stronger light means that the shadows also increase in intensity. Neither the shadow of the floating people, nor the benign soldiers who protect the people, nor the sturdy walls of the castle, can be anything but scaffolding for the solar insects.

At the foot of the shadow of a man who watched all the glowing blue skies, the evil worm, easily, broke into the Royal Palace of Helifarte. As ordered by the curse, we seek our first target, Milan, and crawl around the Unsullied Royal Palace with our faces.

For a while, the movement of the sun insects that were ravaging the royal palace suddenly stops. We found the target. It blended into a perfectly polished marble gap, and the sun worm entered the room with Milan without sound.

It was between the glances. Milan was kneeling (kneeling) on one knee in front of Schburn and Ives, sitting on the throne. Schburn's expression is rugged, and his staring gaze is pointed at Milan.

"Milan, how long the hell are you going to stay in this country?

Milan answers the angry Schburn question with a few moments aside.

"Interaction with the elves has just begun. As a negotiator with them for a while now…………………………………."

"We have decided that the intimacy between the elves and humans is no longer sufficiently deepened. Can't you just forget about my challenge?

"And naturally!

Milan hastily replies, but has a bad tooth cut. Even myself, I understand that the reason for negotiating with the elves is just an excuse, and I know what my father is talking about the challenge.

- It is the life of a man who walks the continent and deepens his sight and ear.

Milan was taking a bear bee for it and traveling all over the continent. Along the way I met Serene by chance and rescued her from the darkness. Then there were all sorts of things, and I stayed in Helifarte disintegrally, but come on, that's the limit too. Born in the presence of a star carrying a great power, Milan cannot spend any time muddy in his own country.

"Haven't you already completed your visit to Valvere? You can't resist going to other countries."

"……… Father is right."

As Schburn put it, the visit to Valvere, which had been postponed due to the presence of Ente, ended really briefly thanks to Serene.

With regard to the other nations, this brings Serene glory again. Until now, whenever I arrived in various countries, the nobles offered me their daughters, but in front of the glowing feat of Serene, Princess Moonlight, the status of the nobility there and so on became sumptuous.

If you insist that you have a partner named Serene, it will be much easier than before. In other words, Milan was the first country to be able to travel without extra hardship. Even so, the look on Milan's face doesn't clear. As he saw through its insides, Schburn sighed.

"Let me guess why you don't want to go on a journey. You mean Serene."

"…… you're right."

Much said, Milan honestly affirmed. Milan will resume its journey, which means that Serene will be left in Helifarte. If you take a young girl on a journey, that will increase the danger and slow down the journey.

"We are responsible for keeping Serene. Now, don't you want to take Serene on a journey through the country, etc.?

"That is……"

"Oh, that's good."

When Milan was answering, Ives, sitting next to Schburn, broke in. Turning to Ives, Schburn frowned between his eyebrows.

"What a fool! It's not a trip! It's not a sane shack to take such a toddler on a journey!

"Oh, you didn't take me all over the continent. That was fun. Wow."

"Yes, no, oh, that's it! You were already fourteen, and I was twenty-four. Milan is still eighteen. You're too young to protect Serene."

"When you brought Serene here before, you said you would treat Milan as one man. I'm not impressed that the king of a country is about to change his mind."

"Damn, that is……… no"

Schburn, known as the Lion King, also has bad minutes with his beloved wife. Ignoring Tagurashburn, Ives turns back to Milan.

"A man's life is long overdue. Sometimes, no matter how much money or power you have, you slip your feet down the stairs one day and you die. Then it would be more fun to live as unfortunately as possible."

"You're too optimistic."

"You're too pessimistic."

Instead of Milan, Ives and Schbahn will be in trouble. Watching what happened to Milan, Schburn coughed up and referred the verdict to Milan.

"... Sure, I said I would treat you as one man, but I also told you to take responsibility. I can't help it if we're arguing here. Milan, you think, lead him on the path that will make him happiest."

"Well... we can't decide on our own, can we? I need to respect Serene's will."

"I understand."

So the conversation came to an end, and Milan met the two of them and left. As soon as I left the room, I leaned against the side wall and a bear bee was waiting for me. At the time Milan was called to Schburn, the bear bee was, to some extent, predicting the content of the story.

"I'm more or less aware of the situation. Is this about your trip?

"Still good to guess. Exactly."

Milan thus conveyed all the conversations he had with his parents to Bear Beech, who was both his most trusted confession and his unrivalled friend. To sum up, you have to choose between leaving Serene for the journey or taking Serene for the journey.

After listening to Milan, Bear puts his hand on his beard and thinks about it for a while. I can't feel the way I normally look at it, and the expression is serious.

"As an awkward man, I agree with the King. Walking outside the country with a toddler is not much to be praised for. Regardless, it would be a good experience for Lord Serene to show the countries, but there are just as many anxiety elements."

"……… I guess so."

"But the Queen's opinion also makes sense. Tomorrow morning there will be a red face, and in the evening there will be white bones, because even if you live today, tomorrow you will not always live peacefully."

"In the end, which side are you on?"

"He's on the prince's side."

Milan's shoulder, his eyes rounded to the words, the bear bees gently slapping with laughter.

"The awkward follow the prince's conclusions. The role of the awkward is to protect the peace of the prince. Okay, awkward. In this."

Having just said what he wanted to say, Bear Beech returned his heel and left the place behind. Milan was courageous on the back of a leaving bear bee, but his heart is still shaking.

"The happiness of Serene, or………"

What the hell am I supposed to do? Milan is distressed. The solar insects never miss the swings of the mind that Milan has shown. It slips into the shadow of Milan from the shadow of the conditioning set up in the hallway and enters the body intact.

"Ugh!?

Milan is accidentally stunned (dizzy) and has one hand on the wall. I suddenly felt my spine freeze, but when I put my hand flat on my forehead, there was no heat, and I looked around my whole body gently, but nothing abnormal happened anywhere. The dizziness also left in an instant.

"Maybe I'm a little tired……………"

It's been months since I met Serene, but it's definitely been the most dense period of my life so far. Negotiations with other countries, intransigence with Marie, confrontation with dragons, exploration of the White Forest… in a series of painful things, fatigue may be accumulating. But in retrospect, Serene gave us countless things.

- Considering that Serene and the time for parting is approaching, Milan's chest becomes bitter.

Now it's a matter of feelings, but Milan doesn't realize that the pain in its chest is becoming something physical in the near future. The sun-extinguished worm that entered his body was tangled up in his heart. Not long after his birth, the monster used considerable force to travel to Helifarte. Often he stays in Milan's body and becomes dormant until the night of the Crescent Moon, when the power of darkness becomes strongest.

Milan was completely unaware of the horrible demons lurking in his body and was full of heads about the future. Anyway, I have to tell Serene about this situation. As he dragged his heavy legs, Milan extended his legs to Serene's room.

"…… so I have to travel across countries again"

"Prince, journey? What about me?"

When she told him that she would resume her journey shortly, Serene was surprised with her eyes round. And to Serene's question about what to do, Milan answers to squeeze out the words.

"... bad for Serene, but I'm trying to get you to leave a message here"

"When are you going home?

"Me? I think I can come back every few months, but I can't make sure."

Milan was stunned by the fact that his voice was sinking surprisingly. I never thought it would be so hard for me not to see Serene.

"Good luck!

"……… Huh?

But even more surprisingly, Serene turned to herself with a smile as glorious as she had never seen before. I didn't expect you to chase me anything else, but this reaction was a little unexpected and Milan was a little dull.

"If there is nothing in particular requested from Serene, that is the end of the story…"

"Bullshit!

Serene, it was already a superb smile, waved flickering at Milan, quickly closing the door. Only Milan, left alone in the hallway, stands up.

"This is fine, but I don't know, this feeling..."

Milan felt so empty that he accidentally murmured so. Sure, if Serene meant to stay from me, it would be much easier to move than to take him, but I didn't think things would go so far. Honestly a bit...... no, I was pretty depressed.

"Ha... I am. You depended so much on Serene."

Milan, which has slept countless aristocratic women, has never been depressed by women's sleeves. Maybe this is the guy called Broken Heart? No way, they're only eight-year-olds. Milan thought so and mocked himself.

"Whoa, I have to tell Marie I'm going on a journey, too."

Milan looked back again and again on his way to Marie's room. For a moment, Serene is still chasing me, asking me to take her on a journey. I thought I was a woman myself, but I couldn't help but do so.

But she never came out until she turned the corner of the hallway and couldn't see Serene's room.

"Ugh... ku, kukuku..."

'Princess, well done. I put up with it. I understand the princess's kindness, this Butler, more than anyone.'

In her own bed, Serene buried her face in the pillow and was shaking. Butler watched with sadness.

Selene laughed and sent her away, saying goodbye to her beloved Prince of Milan. What an embarrassment. Even though he is still young, no, he must understand that he, who is not physically fit, will be the foothold of the Prince of Milan because he is a young and wise Lord.

There's no way it's hard to be apart from the Savior who saved me. To the evidence, shut the door or no, Serene rushes over to the bed, killing her voice and crying all the time as she rammed up.

Butler is not wild enough to speak to such a lord. Everyone wants to cry. Now let's just relax. Butler thought so and went back into his cage.

"(Yay!)"

Naturally, Serene didn't cry. To the good news that suddenly shook and boiled, I felt like laughing. But since I didn't know where my squire was standing ear to ear and that would get into Milan's ear, I was just stuck in a pillow and desperately pushing a leaking laugh to death.

I was worried about how to defeat that prince, but an unexpected opportunity came. The less time you have a prince, the more time and range of action you will have to escape the eyes of surveillance and set up an operation.

I make and feed poisoned lunches every day, but instead of showing up to be effective, I rather even think they've become more successful than they were when we met somehow. Come on, there was a need to rethink the plan.

Red Dragon (Sassakure) hasn't shown up since he came to see what was going on. But to the extent that he returns every few months, there is a good chance that he will come again while the prince is away. This time we might be able to take Alye and move into the elves.

I wonder if the Prince will embark on his journey soon, Serene said, leaping his chest in anticipation.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

"Is that true!?

"Oh, Serene sent me out laughing. So soon I'll be traveling alone..."

"Silly!!

Speaking to Marie all the time, Marie abruptly grabbed the rabbit stuffed animal and threw it all over Milan's face. That's not all you have to do, and when you grab the cushion, you bang Milan with it. It doesn't hurt, but Milan makes his eyes black and white at the sudden attack of his sister.

"Hey, what's all of a sudden!?

"What's all of a sudden, no! Why are you so nibbly!

Milan was confused without knowing why, but Milan was even more surprised when he noticed tears in Marie's eyes. Marie tosses down the cushion and pounds Milan with both hands as she weeps.

"My brother's an idiot! Always is! Because you're dealing with so many distant girls, and you don't even realize what's important nearby! You're an idiot, an idiot, a big idiot!

"What the hell is a fool, a fool?"

"You've decided about Serene! Why are you abandoning me so lightly!

"I'm not abandoning you! I told him that kid would stay here from himself!

"I'm telling you that's stupid! It's not like that kid wants to stay alone!

With that word Marie yelled in tears, Milan solidified as if she had been sewn away.

"Why... why can't I even notice you! That kid, your mother dumped you, and you've been alone forever? Your sister can hardly see you at school, and if your brother who helped you travels, she'll be alone again!?

"She's not alone now, Father, Mother, and you too."

"We can't do this! For Serene, my brother is someone special who helped me out of hell!? Why can't you see that!

"So, but that would be your guess. She was laughing, wasn't she? There was nothing unusual about it..."

"You've decided to laugh so your brother doesn't have to worry about it! Are you sure Serene was the same as usual?

"……… if you ask me so"

Milan recalls that scene. Selene originally had a small mouth count and becomes particularly silent when she is with herself. Even so, as soon as I told him I was going on a journey, he was unusually happy. Yes, the more unusual. I didn't get around to it then, but given Serene's usual behavior, that way of shaking is certainly unnatural.

Marie blasts her emotions and stares at Milan with a rough breath on her shoulder. I'm not usually frightened of Milan by Marie's glare, but today I had enough momentum to pull a step back. Even for Marie, Serene is an important sister.

"Anyway, think again. So think about how Serene feels."

"……… Okay."

"And is that okay with you, brother? You're not gonna see Serene for a long time now, are you?

"That is……… no, I'll think about it for a moment"

"Please do that."

"Marie, I'm sorry. And thank you."

Milan turned to Marie and lowered his head deeply. This may be the first time I've ever bowed my head to Marie, who just thought she was a child, caged in respect from the bottom of my heart. As it was, Milan silently approached his room and began to explore the way forward. Whether we should take Serene or not.

After pondering through the night, Milan still decided to leave Serene behind. I can also understand what Marie is saying. The theory that Serene is pushing himself to death is also credible. But taking Serene with you is still a lot of problems.

Serene would still be awake at this hour because it's night shaped. Thinking so, Milan stands in front of Serene's room and knocks on the door of the room. In more detail than during the day, to communicate the conclusions to Serene.

"Yes!"

Shortly after knocking, Serene opened the door immediately. Normally, after a considerable amount of time, when it comes to opening the door in slow motion, as during the day, it is in an unusually good mood and agile motion.

"(Still, something's wrong)"

Serene laughed all the time, not with her usual clear expression. At least, Serene, who I know, is not such a smiling girl.

"Serene......"

"What?

Milan takes a serious peek at Serene's smile. Serene was not childish and was kept away from her mother because of it. But Serene, laughing at her age, has such a beautiful face that she is described as loved by God. Abandoning that innocent princess, I am about to travel alone. I have to tell you the truth now.

"Will you still follow me?"

"…………………?

Milan had uttered the exact opposite of what he should have said if he had noticed. Even myself, after talking, I realized what it meant, and I was annoyed. That means, for him, that's what it feels like to be free of lies and lies.

Once you put it into words, the emotional flow doesn't stop like you cut the weir. Before he was a prince of a country, he was a young man.

Regardless of the frightened Serene, Milan pummeled his emotions as they were. That I need Serene. If I could, I told her that I wanted her to stay with me the whole time.

"This is probably what my father was like when he invited me on a journey."

Milan laughs like a blindfold and closes.

"So, but me, my leg, probably, right!

Serene desperately insists on how clumsy he is and how sorry he will be if he takes him, so let's not, but it will look nasty to Milan and, even more so, make his determination strong.

"Those who walk fast are not necessarily superior. You just have to walk slowly, little by little. So I want you to walk with me."

When I told him what to tell him, whether he was quite ashamed of himself, Milan rushed away to hide his reddened cheeks. Without knowing what it was, Serene just stood in front of the open door.

"Princess! Congratulations! After all, God is on the side of the right!

Butler jumped out of the cage and rushed to Serene. Rejoice as if it were your own thing, and hang the words of blessing on Serene. For the prince, taking Serene would undoubtedly be a huge burden. Even so, the prince gave Serene priority. That was very proud of Butler.

"………………… Akan"

Serene in a relaxed state, that's all she could whine about. It was Kansai Valve for some reason.
